export markets.25 The OMB has
determined that this final rule is a major
rule for purposes of the Congressional
Review Act. As required by the
Congressional Review Act, the FDIC
will submit the final rule and other
appropriate reports to Congress and the
Government Accountability Office for
review.
D. Plain Language
Section 722 of the Gramm-LeachBliley Act 26 requires the Federal
banking agencies to use plain language
in all proposed and final rules
published after January 1, 2000. The
FDIC has sought to present the final rule
in a simple and straightforward manner.
D. Riegle Community Development and
Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994
Pursuant to section 302(a) of the
Riegle Community Development and
Regulatory Improvement Act (RCDRIA),
in determining the effective date and
administrative compliance requirements
for new regulations that impose
additional reporting, disclosure, or other
requirements on IDIs, each federal
banking agency must consider,
consistent with principles of safety and
soundness and the public interest, any
administrative burdens that such
regulations would place on IDIs,
including small depository institutions,
and customers of IDIs, as well as the
benefits of such regulations.27 In
addition, section 302(b) of RCDRIA
requires new regulations and
amendments to regulations that impose
additional reporting, disclosures, or
other new requirements on IDIs
generally to take effect on the first day
of a calendar quarter that begins on or
after the date on which the regulations
are published in final form.28
The FDIC has determined that the
final rule will not impose additional
reporting, disclosure, or other
requirements; therefore, the
requirements of RCDRIA do not apply.

Background
The United States Government is
closely monitoring an outbreak of
respiratory illness caused by a novel
(new) coronavirus (which has since
been renamed ‘‘SARS–CoV–2’’ and
causes the disease COVID–19), first
identified in Wuhan City, Hubei
Province, People’s Republic of China.
Coronaviruses are a large family of
viruses that are common in many
different species of animals, including
camels, cattle, cats, and bats. Rarely,
animal coronaviruses can infect people,
and then spread between people such as
with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome
and Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome.
The potential for widespread
transmission of this virus by infected
individuals seeking to enter the United
States threatens the security of our
transportation system and
infrastructure, and the national security.
Noting recent pronouncements by the
World Health Organization and Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) to assist in preventing the
introduction, transmission, and spread
of this communicable disease in the
United States, DHS, in coordination
with the CDC and other Federal, state,
and local agencies charged with
protecting the American public, is
implementing enhanced traveler
education protocols to ensure that all
travelers with recent travel from, or who
were otherwise recently present within,
the Islamic Republic of Iran are
provided appropriate public health
services. The enhanced arrival protocols
concerning travelers with recent travel
from, or who were otherwise recently
present within, the People’s Republic of
China, identified in the documents
published at 85 FR 6044 (February 4,
2020) and 85 FR 7214 (February 7,
2020), also remain in place without
modification in this notification.
Enhanced traveler education
protocols are part of a layered approach
used with other public health measures
already in place to detect arriving
travelers who are exhibiting overt signs
of illness. Related measures include
reporting ill travelers identified by air
carriers during travel to appropriate
public health officials for evaluation,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

and referring ill travelers arriving at a
U.S. port of entry by Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) to appropriate
public health officials in order to slow
and prevent the introduction into, and
transmission and spread of,
communicable disease in the United
States.
To ensure that travelers with recent
presence in the Islamic Republic of Iran
are screened appropriately, DHS directs
that all flights to the United States
carrying persons who have recently
traveled from, or were otherwise present
within, the Islamic Republic of Iran
arrive at airports where enhanced public
health services and protocols have been
implemented. Although DHS will
continue to work with air carriers to
ensure that they identify potential
persons who traveled from, or who have
otherwise recently been present within,
the affected areas prior to boarding, air
carriers shall comply with the
requirements of this document in all
cases, including when such persons are
identified after boarding.
On Friday, January 31, 2020, DHS
posted a document on the Federal
Register public inspection page,
announcing the DHS Secretary’s
decision that arrival restrictions
regarding the People’s Republic of
China (excluding the special
autonomous regions of Hong Kong and
Macau) would go into effect at 5 p.m.
EST on Sunday, February 2, 2020, at
seven airports. On Friday, February 7,
2020, DHS published a document
adding four airports to the list of
airports where flights subject to the
arrival restrictions are permitted to land
and describing when the arrival
restrictions would include those
airports. DHS is not adding additional
airports to the list at this time.
As with actions related to the People’s
Republic of China, DHS anticipates that
airlines will be able to fully support
implementation of these arrival
restrictions.
Notification of Arrival Restrictions

Persons Who Have Recently Traveled
From or Were Otherwise Present

Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1433(c), 19 CFR
122.32, 49 U.S.C. 114, and 49 CFR
1544.305 and 1546.105, DHS has the
authority to limit the locations where all
flights entering the U.S. from abroad
may land. Under this authority and
effective for flights departing after 5

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES
I. Background and Legal Authority
The OCSLA, at 43 U.S.C. 1350(b)(1),
directs the Secretary of the Interior
(Secretary) to adjust the OCSLA
maximum daily civil penalty amount at
least once every three years to reflect
any increase in the Consumer Price
Index (CPI) to account for inflation. On
November 2, 2015, the President signed
into law the Federal Civil Penalties
Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements
Act of 2015 (Sec. 701 of Pub. L. 114–74)
(FCPIA of 2015). The FCPIA of 2015
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:59 Mar 03, 2020
Jkt 250001
required Federal agencies to adjust the
level of civil monetary penalties found
in their regulations with an initial
‘‘catch-up’’ adjustment through
rulemaking, if warranted, and then to
make subsequent annual adjustments
for inflation. The purpose of these
adjustments is to maintain the deterrent
effect of civil penalties and to further
the policy goals of the underlying
statutes. Agencies were required to
publish the first annual inflation
adjustments in the Federal Register by
no later than January 15, 2017 and must
publish recurring annual inflation
adjustments by no later than January 15
of each subsequent year.
BSEE last updated the maximum
daily civil penalty amounts in BSEE’s
regulations for OCSLA violations by a
final rule published and effective on
March 25, 2019. (See 84 FR 10,989).
Consistent with OMB guidance, BSEE’s
final rule implemented the inflation
adjustments required by the FCPIA of
2015 through October 2018.
The OMB Memorandum M–20–05
(Implementation of Penalty Inflation
Adjustments for 2020, Pursuant to the
Federal Civil Penalties Inflation
Adjustment Act Improvements Act of
2015; available at https://
www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/
uploads/2019/12/M-20-05.pdf) explains
agency responsibilities for: Identifying
applicable penalties and performing the
annual adjustment; publishing revisions
to regulations to implement the
adjustment in the Federal Register;
applying adjusted penalty levels; and
performing agency oversight of inflation
adjustments.
BSEE is promulgating this 2020
inflation adjustment for the OCSLA
maximum daily civil penalties as a final
rule pursuant to the provisions of the
FCPIA of 2015 and OMB’s guidance. A
proposed rule is not required because
the FCPIA of 2015 expressly exempted
the annual inflation adjustments
implemented pursuant to the FCPIA of
2015 from the pre-promulgation notice
and comment requirements of the
Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.
553 et seq. (the APA), allowing those
adjustments to be published directly as
final rules. Specifically, the FCPIA of
2015 states that agencies shall adjust
civil monetary penalties
‘‘notwithstanding Section 553 of the
Administrative Procedure Act.’’ (FCPIA
of 2015 at section 4(b)(2)). This
interpretation of the FCPIA of 2015 is
confirmed by OMB Memorandum M–
20–05 at 4 (‘‘This means that the public
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
12733
procedure the APA generally requires—
notice, an opportunity for comment, and
a delay in effective date-is not required
for agencies to issue regulations
implementing the annual adjustment.’’).
II. Calculation of Adjustments
In accordance with the FCPIA of 2015
and the guidance provided in OMB
Memorandum M–20–05, BSEE has
calculated the necessary inflation
adjustment for the maximum daily civil
monetary penalty amount in 30 CFR
250.1403 for violations of OCSLA. The
previous OCSLA civil penalty inflation
adjustment accounted for inflation
through October 2018. The required
annual civil penalty inflation
adjustment promulgated through this
rule accounts for inflation through
October 2019.
Annual inflation adjustments are
based on the percent change between
the Consumer Price Index for all Urban
Consumers (CPI–U) for the October
preceding the date of the adjustment,
and the prior year’s October CPI–U.
Consistent with the guidance in OMB
Memorandum M–20–05, BSEE divided
the October 2019 CPI–U by the October
2018 CPI–U to calculate the multiplying
factor. In this case, the October 2019
CPI–U (257.346) divided by the October
2018 CPI–U (252.885) is 1.01764. OMB
Memorandum M–20–05 confirms that
this is the proper multiplier. (OMB
Memorandum M–20–05 at 1, n.4).
The FCPIA of 2015 requires that BSEE
adjust the OCSLA maximum daily civil
penalty amount for inflation using the
applicable 2020 multiplier (1.01764).
Accordingly, BSEE multiplied the
existing OCSLA maximum daily civil
penalty amount ($44,675) by 1.01764 to
arrive at the new maximum daily civil
penalty amount ($45,463.07). The
FCPIA of 2015 requires that the
resulting amount be rounded to the
nearest $1.00 at the end of the
calculation process. Accordingly, the
adjusted OCSLA maximum daily civil
penalty for 2020 is $45,463.
The adjusted penalty levels take effect
immediately upon publication of this
rule. Pursuant to the FCPIA of 2015, the
increase in the OCSLA maximum daily
civil penalty amount applies to civil
penalties assessed after the date the
increase takes effect, even when the
associated violation(s) predates such
increase. Consistent with the provisions
of OCSLA and the FCPIA of 2015, this
rule adjusts the following maximum
civil monetary penalty per day per
violation as follows:
